Really? Well, then how do you explain this ?

From now on I'm always going to refer to old people, even when saying nice things about them, as "the fucking elderly".

It's not buried somewhere in the 1216 comments? I didn't read them all, so I don't know either. Ok, here goes:

Hey! What's all this nonsense in here? Keep it down - I'm trying to study for my CPA exam! And stop making fun of the way I dance!

You're treading on dangerous ground here, Mr. Cricket…but I'll allow it

Plus loads of ruefulness.

Well, alright. Y'know, I think we might have more luck with this revolution…if we take off our shirts.

Well, yeah - I left a comment to that effect below. But I guess that means I'm jealous of Duritz, not of dudes who covered his songs at parties.

Yeah! People who hate this band are just jealous! Not jealous of the band's success per se…more jealous of dudes who used to play the band's music on acoustic guitars in college to…wait, what?

It's called The Fightah Paht Two

That is freaking hilarious, and says a ton about Buddy's inflated self-concept. DeNiro?! In Buddy Cianci's dreams. As a former Rhode Islander, I would go see this movie, though. In other flawed mayor-related news, I'm also psyched for Spike Lee's Marion Barry biopic.

It wasn't mentioned in the interview, but this is one of those dudes who only started playing music to get laid, right? And has only continued all these years because it worked pretty ok for him - right?

"It was good, a-livin with you-ahoh! It was goo-ood, ah-waoh-waoh-ahoh!"

It was spaghetti! Spaghetti and milk, damnit! (Shudders at the memory of that photo)

Yeah, majoring in the arts is only for people who "can't hack hard classes", as my engineering friends constantly reminded…well, everyone who wasn't an engineering major. No one should major in the arts, even if they have the aptitude or interest. Hopefully all these spoiled rich kids will come to their senses soon…

One doesn't balance out the other. All people who say stuff like this deserve to be condemned, regardless of their background.

That movie is freaking bananas.  (spoilers) During the chase scene he just piles on one ridiculous thing after another: jaguar attacks, jumping off waterfalls, throwing hornet nests at people, the wife and kid trapped in a cenote filling with water….By the time they got to the underwater shot of the baby being born, I…

I saw him speak recently in a bookstore in DC, and he actually mentioned that about young readers not getting the tv metaphor now. If you ever have a chance to see him, I highly recommend it. It's awesome just listening to him ramble on and free associate about various topics.

Re: John Hawkes. I still haven't seen the movie where he plays a cult leader (what's it called?), but I would love to see him play some variation on the Teardrop character from Winter's Bone. That character had such an understated menace, and everyone was clearly afraid of him, despite his being a bone-skinny…
